Tessa Blanchard likely landing spot is WWE at this point. Still early, but there’s only obvious interest from WWE right now I’m told.
I’m also told WWE are not looking at cancelling NXT UK in the short term/near future. Pretty emphatically, too.
As you can see, in the same tweet, McCarthy asserts strongly that Tessa Blanchard’s next stop will be WWE rather than AEW.
Time will of course tell whether the brand will be re-activated after the current pandemic induced hibernation.
